[Leica] PESO - Mullin Automotive Museum

[ISILVERMN at aol.com (ISILVERMN at aol.com)]

Who would have thought that after 40 years in the commercial nuclear power  
industry, its now busier than its ever been, what with the so-called 
nuclear  renaissance and a small incident at Fukushima.  I've had darn 
little time 
 available for hobbies, but try to make the best of it.
 
I recently  visited the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, CA, (

(http://www.mullinautomotivemuseum.com/)   ) 
and it was an unbelievable experience. Housed in an industrial park with  
limited access (2 weekends a month and 2 groups each of those days), once 
you 
go  through the doors, you're at the Paris Auto Show of 1939, with some 70 
mostly  French vehicles of the Art-deco period in immaculate condition (a 
few  are intentionally unrestored).  Would you believe 30 Bugattis?    A 
sampling:
